now see you did a dangerous thing there, you strayed onto my turf. This could very easily get into a long winded explanation of the term 'hysteria' and its place within a late-eighteenth-century/early nineteenth century redrawing of gender distinctions, the medicalisation of femininity, and the reduction of all female health to reproductive health.


But I realise that might be considered impolite...
